Note
of the display. These labels define the present uses
for the five blue keys that are positioned immediately
below the display.
In Combo and Meter display modes, some labels are
used with several different selector positions; see
Table 2-1 for descriptions of these common labels.
Other labels are unique for the selector position;
these labels are defined in this chapter as needed.
View and TrendGraph™ softkey labels are common
for all functions that can use these modes; refer to
Chapter 5 for a full discussion.
Hardkeys
Although hardkeys can generally be pressed at any
time, certain feature combinations are not allowed.
The GMM rejects any hardkey press that is not
allowed and tells you so with a long beep.
